San Antonio Getaway Weekend

This is going to be more of a travel post than anything else, just FYI.

So Josh got a weekend off so we decided to have a little getaway weekend to San Antonio!  We love to visit the town and really enjoy walking the riverwalk.  This is where Josh proposed and it will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Friday, we drove up to San Antonio and went to pick up our race packets for the Santa Boogie 5k that I had signed us up for.  Josh was not ecstatic about this run to say the least but when he commits to something he does it all the way!  Then we did a little shopping and lunch then headed to the hotel.  After the hotel we signed up for a walking ghost tour and walked the riverwalk until it started.  So San Antonio is one of the oldest cities in Texas and the united states for that matter.  This makes for a very deep history which if you know me, I love!  I had no idea all the ghost stories just the small downtown area of San Antonio had!  The ghost tour was about an hour long and we visited about 5-6 places.  We visited the Alamo, of course, and many of the older hotels downtown.  If you are looking for a haunting in south Texas I know some places for you!  I'm not a big believer in ghost but I don't like to take my chances either.  One of the coolest facts that I found was that one of the bars that Teddy Roosevelt himself used to liquor up some boys to convince them to join the army was still standing today and the bullet hole from him is still three too!  SO COOL!  Also we got to see a beautiful light show on the San Fernando Cathedral.  The show was called San Antonio: The Saga.  It was a beautiful light show and I am so glad that we stumbled upon it! 

Saturday, we ran the Santa Boogie 5k!

I had so much fun running with my soon to be husband!  I was not going to run in the full Santa outfit but he was committed!  He ran almost the whole thing with that beard on!  Also with him next to me I was able to run one of my fastest mile times!  I had no idea that I had it in me but having him next to me really kept me going even when I wanted to slow down.  This wasn't a huge even but we think we placed probably in the top 10!  When we walked back to our hotel it was so refreshing how nice everyone was!  Everyone greeted us with "Good Morning" or "Merry Christmas."  Makes you want to wear Christmas gear all year long!

We then took a river boat tour around the river walk and explored some more!  For the afternoon we did one our favorite things and rested our legs at the movie theater with Big Hero 6.  Very cute movie but let me tell you this, I was crying before the movie started.  The short before was almost better than the movie.  I was sobbing by the end of it.  If you get a chance, watch the disney short called "Feast" and you may want some tissues near by.  Or not, I'm a sucker for dogs and love stories so yeah.  The rest of Saturday wasn't so great because I started to get really sick with a sore throat, sneezing, coughing, headache, and stuffiness.  But all in all it was an amazing weekend of just us.  And I loved it!  I'm so lucky to have a guy like him!  Happy Birthday!  Lets make your 26th year one of your favorites! ;)

Next post will be about my New Years Resolutions!  Are you making any?  I challenge you to make some but make them S.M.A.R.T.!

Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Relevant
Time Bound

There were too many years that I made mine to "lose weight." What does that mean?  Lets try something else.  Maybe you wanna complete a specific race.  Maybe you wanna try something new.  Give yourself something to work towards.  Don't focus on the scale.
